Landsman Statement After the U.S. Attacks the Iranian Regime

<p><strong><em>Cincinnati, OH –</em></strong><em>&nbsp;Today, Congressman Greg Landsman (D-OH-01) released the following statement after the United States launched an attack on the Iranian regime:</em></p>

<p>The U.S. is destroying Iran’s missiles and bombs to stop them from taking more lives.</p>

<p>These strikes are targeting military infrastructure – with warnings to Iranian civilians to take shelter away from these military targets.</p>

<p>If it wasn’t for the regime, the region may very well know peace.</p>

<p>For decades, the regime has caused mayhem and bloodshed through Hezbollah in Lebanon, Hamas in Gaza, the Houthis in Yemen – all while the people of Iran have suffered.</p>

<p>When the Iranian people stood up to protest the regime last month, the regime murdered tens of thousands of its own people.</p>

<p>I want a lasting peace for everyone in the region – from the Iranian people to the Lebanese, Palestinians, Syrians, Iraqis, Jordanians, and Israelis. I hope these targeted strikes on the Iranian regime’s military assets ends the regime’s mayhem and bloodshed and makes way for this lasting peace in the region.</p>

<p>Thank you to our brave service members who are leading this effort, and I pray their work will finally free the people of Iran and those in the region from more violence or war.</p>

<p>May peace emerge from all of this.</p>
